received a call from 646-357-1923, they ask for me directly, they knew my name, well they will not be calling again, chewed her a new one, and call them back several times, and they will not speak to me. Too Bad, all this week have been getting nothing but telemarketing calls one after the other. Where is the Feds??
Caller states that you have been chosen to receive $9,000 government grant. Then ask you if you would like to know why you were chosen. Answering "yes" could allow them to record your voice and possibly use it to open accounts in your name, if they have been able to mine other personal information. If you answer yes, search for "reporting identity theft to credit bureau" and alert them so they can place an alert requiring you be contacted by phone prior to any approval of credit in your name.
Called me twice today. First asked for a Harry M. I told them they had the wrong number. Then, called back 5 hours later and addressed me by name. I was given the same story above, $9,000 in pell grants scheme. Then, after 20 seconds, hung up.
